Minecraft Server

This is a project to learn, how to implement an documented packet (And possibly create a fully working Minecraft server).

To-Do

• add the missing Block states that are after this
• using serde for the packets etc
  • help: serde tutorial
• implementing all the login packets
  • packet implementation
  • packet usage (encrypted)
• implementing all the playing packets
  • implementing server handling (events redstone ticks etc.)
• test if inlining deref's helps performance

Known Issues

• The Feature Flag Packet is currently broken and is under investigation and will be fixed as fast as possible

• port: Specifies the port number for the server. Default is set to 25565.
• motd: Stands for "Message of the Day," providing a brief message displayed to players on the serverlist. Default setting: "A Cool Rust Minecraft Server".
• max_players: Defines the maximum number of players allowed on the server simultaneously. Default is 100.
